Atomik Destruktor

Rock

Atomik Destruktor was formed in May 2007. It all started when Turtle, Gibson and Jota, three friends in high school, decided to start a thrash metal band. At the same time Turtle asked his long time friend Pedraça to join the band. With an enormous urge to play old school thrash metal, influenced by great 80s bands such as Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, etc, they started thrashing with Turtle on bass and vocals, Gibson and Pedraça on guitars and Jota on drums. In October of that year, Turtle left the band. That’s when Marco joined the band in to play bass and Paulo Thrasher took over the vocals. Months later, Paulo left the band and Turtle returned as the vocalist. Thus the definitive lineup of Atomik Destruktor was formed, five friends with rage for thrash and rock n’ roll who still to this day have a good time getting high and drunk together. Right from the start they compose original, aggressive and violent music dealing with themes such as thrash and getting wasted, along with social issues, such as war and dissent. In 2008 they played their first concerts. Later that year, they recorded a demo that came out in 2009, entitled “Destroy, Disagree & Disrespect.” The album had 4 songs in K7 format, and was distributed by Luci Dist. Prod. A few months later the demo was released as a CD by Thai label Roots Active Productions. At that time, they were performing in Portugal and composing new songs loaded with aggressiveness, hostility and protest. After some delays, they started recording their first LP in 2011, at Grave Studios and still performing live. The recording took longer than expected due to some setbacks but finally, in early 2015, they will release an album entitled “Unnatural Disorder” with 8 songs that are pure thrash, under the label Helldprod. Their destruction, intoxication and appetite for thrashing continue.
